About

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, comprising lead guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, and bassist Mike Kroeger. It went through several drummer changes between 1995 and 2005 before Daniel Adair joined.

The band signed with Roadrunner Records in 1999 and reached a mainstream breakthrough in 2002 with the single "How You Remind Me", which reached number one in the United States and Canada. Its parent album, Silver Side Up, was certified eight-times platinum in Canada. Nickelback's fourth album, The Long Road (2003), produced five singles, including "Someday", which reached number one in Canada and number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100.
In 2005, Nickelback's best-selling album, All the Right Reasons, produced three top-10 and five top-20 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Photograph", "Far Away", and "Rockstar", the latter of which was their biggest success in the United Kingdom. Nickelback released eight singles from their sixth album Dark Horse (2008), including the United States top-10 track "Gotta Be Somebody". In 2011, the album Here and Now topped the charts in Canada. It was followed by No Fixed Address (2014), Feed the Machine (2017) and Get Rollin' (2022).
Nickelback is one of the most successful Canadian rock bands, having sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. In 2009, Billboard ranked it the most successful rock group and the seventh-most successful artist of that decade; "How You Remind Me" was the best-selling rock song and the fourth-best overall. In 2023, Nickelback were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
